Congratulations, Chief Ragusa! I always see you all over the place, there is no slowing down for you, is there? I've found the Chief to be an insightful commenter, often strongly opinionated about the successes (or failures) in the story he's discussing, but always backing up his opinions with reasoned explanations.

Congrats Chief Ragusa, very well deserved! You're one of those people that really keep AAR commentary alive, both by post quantity (+regularity) and quality. I love to have your comments in my AARs and, like Rensslaer said, it's good to have someone keeping you honest: I find that if I forget something important (either in the game or in the writeup), the Chief will probably point it out.

Thanks CatKnight for the honour of the fan of the week award. I can honestly say that it caught me by surprise. Only last week I was thinking that I wouldn't be awarded it again, because I wasn't posting in enough AARs I await Beyond Tanneberg IV with baited breath. As fans we get to share in the triumphs of the writAArs and commiserate with them over their setbacks. I marvelled at Prawnstar's magnificent tribal world conquest with the Golden Horde and remembmer where the tribal succession crises originated in Duke of Wellington's magnificent Golden Horde AAR in which massive revolts greeted each new Khan - events he modded in. I've laughed at the humour of AARs like P is for Portugal, been moved by the power of the writing in AARs by Amric and the narrative of coz1's AARs.

I reserve a special thanks for gameplay hints in the AARs of Rensslaer who makes each new release so accessible.

It's time to pass on the award for fan of the week. I 've chosen someone who hasn't won the award for a while, whose comments I find insightful and comments in quite a wide range of AARs. I give you The Arch Mede.
